Repub- lican Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of Twin Peaks was the lone dissenting vote. Gov. Jerry Brown had scheduled a signing cere- mony for later in the night to formally put it on the ballot. The evening votes in the Assembly and Senate came after the Democratic gov- ernor and lawmakers from both parties were finally able to clear their main hur- dle, a disagreement about how much money should be spent on new reservoirs and other storage projects. A state with a population that exceeds 38 million and an agricultural industry that feeds the nation has been struggling to meet the increasing demands for wa- ter after three dry winters. The push to revamp the 2009 ballot measure, which was $11.1 billion and had been delayed from state- wide votes twice, gained momentum as the worst drought in a generation in- tensified throughout the state. It has forced farm- ers to fallow fields, led to double-digit unemploy- ment in many rural areas, turned large expanses of reservoirs into mud flats and prompted local gov- ernments to mandate wa- ter-use restrictions and im- pose fines for water waste. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D- Sacramento, said water was something many Cal- ifornians had previously taken for granted. "The need is so great in California," he said, refer- ring to the wide margin of support the spending mea- sure enjoyed in the Legis- lature. "The time is now." The relatively swift and overwhelming votes for passage in both house of the Legislature were in contrast to the weeks of difficult negotiations to re- place the existing and more costly water bond that al- ready was on the Novem- ber ballot. Brown wanted a much smaller bond to attract voters and minimize state debt, while many Demo- cratic lawmakers fought against money for reser- voirs and sought strong en- vironmental protections for the Sacramento-San Joa- quin River Delta. The proposal approved Wednesday includes $2.7 billion dedicated to stor- age projects, which likely would include a new reser- voir in what is now a bu- colic agricultural valley in Colusa County north of Sac- ramento and another in the Sierra Nevada northeast of Fresno. That amount is more than Democrats and the governor had proposed for new reservoirs but less than the $3 billion included in the old ballot measure, which was approved by a previous Legislature in 2009. The breakthrough on water storage was hailed by Republican lawmakers, who saw it as a top prior- ity. Democratic lawmakers who represent agricultural areas in the Central Valley also pushed for the reser- voir funding. "This now offers us an opportunity to guarantee the future," said Sen. Jim Nielsen, a Republican who represents a largely agri- cultural region in North- ern California that will be home to one of the pro- posed reservoirs. "This is not about us and not about the next election; it's about our grandchildren." Numerous agricultural, environmental and busi- ness groups quickly en- dorsed the legislative com- promise. The plan includes $7.1 billion in new borrow- ing and $400 million from previous bonds that would be redirected to the up- dated water priorities. Re- directing that money re- quires voter approval. Provisions in the lat- est bond proposal in- volving water recycling and cleanup of contami- nated groundwater could increase the availabil- ity of water during future droughts. The bond also in- cludes other water projects not directly related to sup- ply, such as watershed im- provements and flood man- agement. Democrats needed Re- publican support in the Senate but not in the As- sembly, where they hold a supermajority. Even so, the governor has said biparti- san support for the bond measure is crucial to show voters that it has wide sup- port. Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, said lawmakers can show a united front and make a strong case to voters that the water plan is worth sup- porting. Assembly FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press NORCO Tainted hay is sus- pected of causing sun sen- sitivity that is leading to rashes and skin infections in horses across Southern California, state officials said. Vets and horse owners have reported at least two dozen cases of photosensi- tization in recent weeks, the Riverside Press-En- terprise reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1sVNeBj). As many as seven cases are in the Riverside County city of Norco. Affected horses experi- ence infections called pho- todermatitis, which can re- sult in hair loss and pain- ful lesions. The source appears to be tainted alfalfa hay from several distributors, with at least some from the Bishop area in the East- ern Sierra, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Animal Health and Food Safety Services Division. Toxicologists have not definitively identified the exact substance, but of- ficials believe it might be naturally occurring, the agency's Dr. Kent Fowler said. The lack of water caused by California's se- vere drought might have caused the levels of some ingredient in alfalfa hay to increase, officials said. The problem could stem from the hay being fed to horses very soon after it was cut and baled. The effect might lessen over time in hay that is kept awhile, the newspa- per reported. The condition typically is not fatal, unless a sec- ondary condition, such as an infection, gets out of control. A horse owner in the Phelan area reported two old horses died of what she believed was photosen- sitization in recent months, but an investigation didn't find that sun sensitivity was involved, Fowler said. Treatment starts with getting horses under shel- ter or shade, and some- times turning them out only at night. They should be kept out of sunlight un- til they heal. Open sores resulting from severe cases might get bacterial infections, which would then most likely re- quire antibiotics adminis- tered by a vet. ASHES, INFECTIONS Tainted hay suspected in horses' sun sensitivity KURT MILLER - THE PRESS ENTERPRISE Brian Cockerton pets his horse Crystal on Tuesday at his ranch in Norco. Crystal and another of Cockerton's horses are suffering from a skin condition known as photosensitization - a hyper-sensitivity to direct sunlight - and subsequent infections called photodermatitis, he said. Though tainted hay is suspected as the cause, tests are continuing at the California Animal Health and Food Safety lab at UC Davis. By Matt Hamilton Associated Press LOS ANGELES A woman who authorities say flew from San Jose to Los An- geles without a ticket has been sentenced to jail af- ter admitting she violated her probation by returning to the LA airport. Los Angeles City At- torney spokesman Frank Mateljan says 62-year- old Marilyn Jean Hart- man wa s sentenced Wednesday to 177 days in jail for returning to LAX last Thursday after a judge ordered her to stay away from the facil- ity. Authorities say Hart- man wandered through terminals there without a ticket. T he prev ious day, Hartman pleaded no con- test to sneaking onto the Southwest Airlines flight from San Jose to Los An- geles. A judge placed her on probation for two years and ordered her to stay away from LAX un- less she had a ticket. Plane stowaway gets jail for probation violation The Associated Press LOS ANGELES An immi- gration judge has sued the Justice Department, alleging that an order re- cusing her from hearing the cases of Iranian im- migrants because of her involvement in the Ira- nian-American commu- nity is discriminatory. Immigration Judge A. Ashley Tabaddor in Los Angeles filed the lawsuit Tuesday in federal court, claiming she was tar- geted in the 2012 recusal order after she attended the Roundtable with Ira- nian-American Commu- nity Leaders organized by the White House Of- fice of Public Engage- ment. Other immigration judges who were active in their religious and eth- nic communities had not been subject to a blan- ket recusal order when Tabaddor, who was born in Iran and participated in dozens of public speak- ing engagements, was re- cused, the lawsuit said. "Unless the agency is prevented from having unbridled power to issue recusal orders against immigration judges, based on their race, na- tional origin, religion or perceived interests, the effect is that immigration judges will be improperly manipulated and intimi- dated by Justice Depart- ment officials, and their decisional independence will be severely threat- ened," the suit said.
